Same. Well, I'm 41 but still. I'm going to use my 17 year old 42" TV until it's DEAD. I can't even fit a 70" TV in our living room and a 50-60" TV would still be too big.

That guy is a beast. I jump-kicked him in the face 15 times and he just kept getting up every time. The sixteenth time, he slapped me right out of mid-air and I died. RIP bostjan.
As a kid, I had endless hours of enjoyment playing NES (256x224) on a television set from the late 1960's. Maybe part of the reason I can't get into modern video games is because they want me to use a television set I can't afford, sometimes sit through a 90 minute+ tutorial before I can play the game, and then have to be online or else the game won't even boot up single player. Maybe it's no wonder when a game like Angry Birds comes along and is extremely simple, casual players flock to them (no punk intended) in droves, not that "Assassin's God of Infinite Warfare XVII: Jedi Academy" or whatever, isn't making billions, but it just seems that I hear more complaints about these games than praise.
It may be shocking for some to learn that not all of us set up our homes for the ultimate theatrical viewing experience. I know, that really gets under the skin of the 'phile types, but very few things in life live up to idealized standards.Viewing distance really matters fyi. https://www.cabletv.com/tv-viewing-distance-calculator
What’s the Best TV Viewing Distance?
The distance you sit from your TV plays a significant role in getting an immersive experience. If you sit too close, you may notice pixel-level imperfections or strain your eyes, but if you sit too far, you may miss smaller details.
Oh I know. My personal setup is awful. My current living room has the couch almost 20' from the tv, and for a 45" tv, it's very fucking hard to see at times, even with 20/20 vision. I would move my sofa closer but it's a center fed room and then I wouldn't be able to open the fucking door
I'd also have to tear out the built in shelves above and surrounding my fireplace to install a bigger tv, so I'm kind of fucked unless I want to do some fairly involved renovations.
Come to south Detroit! I'm south Detroit on the American side, I hear the Canadian side is pretty fun, and legend has it that if you open your windows on a Wednesday night at 6PM, you can actually hear Glenn Fricker screaming in the distance as he stalks the streets.
I'm in Sioux Falls, SD and wouldn't swear part of the pig-squeals coming from down the hill at Smithfield isn't actually Fricker shooting a new vid for his channel.
I've always liked Sarnia, but I'm about as easy-to-please as it gets. Windsor might be better now, but when I was a 19 year old American hanging out there to drink, it was full of too many 19 year old Americans getting drunk and being a nuisance. Niagara Falls is supposed to be a nice place to live, nearish to Toronto and also near the US, but it's also very touristy. Burlington is cool, but a little busy. Maybe Kingston, a little more off the beaten path, still close to the US border, but not any major cities, very pretty area... Depends what you value more...
Awesome thanks for the suggestions man! I must research these.
Yup, and the thing is I'd need exactly 70" and there just aren't any. Now I'm thinking about mounting it higher though, then I could probably fit an 85"
I don't think my wife will approve though.
I frequently me in Ottawa, if that means anything. Ottawa can be kinda boring though, especially post-'rona. Everything closes early and transit is bad, especially in the winter, so if you want to do fun things this maybe isn't the right place. It's also not cheap, so I guess that's reason number two that it's the wrong choice. Oh well.
I do like Ottawa. It was my place to go to pre-covid to escape MTL and chill for a bit. Rent is surprisingly high there right now. Way higher than I expected. It's gone way up in the post covid world.
The 90s cop goatees and mullets do show up fine on SD.
